Quote from: trevtubby;536976what year RX-7 is this? 99 spec?

if not..i`d sell it for say 5/6k and buy a minter for about 8/9k which has ALL the work done already (i.e rebuild/single turbo).

Stick the spare 2/3k in an ISA.

have you not seen his car dude??

I\'d day don\'t spend the 5k at once, take it in stages so you know what you really need. Stick maybe 1-2k into it to reach your 350bhp target with reliability then give it a good drive. Then maybe stick some cash into new bushes, new shocks etc for the handling. Then see where you are and what you\'re using the car for and what you want to improve.
 
If you need a rebuild then obviously get that done but as said above generally be aiming to do work yourself, saves you money first off but also means you get to know better how the car works and better able to diagnose any probs you might get in future.

:D

I\'d invest it and save some more until you\'ve doubled it. Then go the whole hog and go Single with vmount, rebuild, porting, clutch, ECU, fuel system etc.

5k is an awkward total in my opinion coz you could buy all the bits to go single and have them fitted, but then if your engine goes bang you\'ve not much left to rebuild it. If your not looking for massive power, why not just buy an Apexi, have it fitted and mapped, maybe decat and new tail for some extra grunt and save the rest for when rebuild time comes. This is all presuming your not going to do any of the work yourself, in which case ignore all of the above ! :Hammer

QuoteImpossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

Ermm.. *cough cough* when he said the engine was standard I\'d kind of assumed the car was generally. Just checked it out too, awesome! Actually suprising you haven\'t done anything to the engine so far.
